Malted Milk Chocolate Cupcakes

I can't believe I'm just now getting around to posting the recipe for these delicious little cupcakes.  I made them for Mother's Day, which seems like an ion ago.  Life has really taken a few crazy turns since then, leaving me very little time for blog posts, food photography and such.

Maybe someday, I will take the time to relay a few of the details but for now...I'll share a chocolate moment, Malted Milk Chocolate Cupcakes.  Times like these, demand many chocolate moments!!

The picture above, is my cupcake with the first batch of frosting. Sadly, I ran out of butter and decided to use some lard instead... what the heck was I thinking? I scrapped it off and made a new batch after a short trip to the market. The new batch was born, much lighter in color and a lot more tasty.  I hope you enjoy the rich flavors of powdered malt in your chocolate as much as I do!

Note to self: don't use lard in frosting, it tastes nasty!

  • 1 cup malted milk powder
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and malted milk powder, whisk to combine.
  • Microwave, chocolate and butter in a glass bowl for 30 seconds on 50% power setting, stir after each interval until mixture is completely melted
  • Add chocolate mixture and milk and eggs to the dry ingredients, blend on slow speed until mixture is combined, occasionally scrapping down sides of the bowl
  • Add vanilla and continue mixing on medium speed until mixture is blended and smooth, about 3 minutes
  • Fill prepared cupcake foils with batter, leaving ¼ inch head space, use a measuring cup or ice cream scoop to divide batter evenly
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until the top springs back when gently pressed or a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, do not over bake.
  • Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack and cool before frosting

To make the frosting

  • Add chocolate to the bowl of stand mixer
  • Combine malted milk powder and cream in a saucepan, cook over medium heat stirring constantly, bring mixture to a simmer, do not boil
  • Pour hot mixture over chocolate, cover bowl with foil or plastic and set aside for 3-5 minutes, remove cover and whisk mixture until smooth.
  • Place bowl back on stand mixer, using whisk attachment
  • Add confectioners sugar, and blend until combined
  • Alternate: adding chunks of cream cheese and butter, 1 teaspoon at a time, until all butter and cheese are incorporated, more confectioner sugar may be added to adjust for thickness, frosting can also be chilled if necessary.
  • Fill large pasty bag with a fitted decorative tip, pipe frosting over cupcakes, garnish with malted milk balls if desired.

      Haha! I really was not thinking when I used the lard...horrible. I'm hoping to get back to my blog posts, I've really missed it. It's been a crazy summer with plans to move out of town then many delays, coupled with a lot of family drama. I hope you are well my friend! Thanks for checking in with me!!
